As children, we were constantly yearning for independence from our parents. Sure, they fed us, clothed us, and put a roof over our head, but what did they really ever do for us? Movies featuring kids on their own became a sort of illicit fantasy of autonomy, a state of unlikely non-supervision to which we could eventually aspire.

So, the question is,

Would you rather:

Experience the zany madcap robber-evading adventures of Kevin McCallister in Home Alone

or

Enjoy weeks of non-stop childlike debauchery in a remote setting while assembling an elaborate parent-fooling scheme a la Camp Nowhere?

I loved Camp Nowhere! I think I'd prefer the Home Alone fiascos...I'm pretty independent, but I'm not really over the top or one to go against authority like the kids in CN. Plus, I prefer Christmas to getting all bug-bitten in the woods any day!

well, considering that I never saw camp nowhere, I chose home alone! The boy was a genius!! I want to be!And creative! COme on!! And he's a hero. What more could you want? ...visiting from 20sb "we love comments". Have a great one!!
